Sold Out Discipling Movement
Kip McKean uses the term "sold out" because "so many have cheapened the word 'disciple'". "Sold out" is the slogan he uses in the new congregations to refer to the doctrine of "total commitment" to God. McKean states, "To be 'fully committed' is to be sold-out." The Sold Out Discipling is a re-branding of the Discipling practices that the International Church of Christ has become known for;however, this time the emphasis is on not making the same mistakes of he past, recently McKean stated at the "2010 World Missions Jubilee": "In my lesson, The Promised Land – On The Second Try, I taught that the Israelites failed miserably on their first attempt to enter the Promised Land, because of their lack of faith – which manifested itself in disobedience, grumbling and rebellion. However, God gave them the Promised Land on the second try, because of their “wholehearted” devotion! Prayerfully, everyone who attended now has deep convictions that though we in our former fellowship sinned and fell short, this “second time” through a “sold-out” faith, righteous living, and merciful discipling relationships, God will lead the SoldOut Movement to evangelize the nations in THIS generation!"

Famous quotes containing the words sold and/or movement:
“As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty.... Here was every sensuous curve of the “human figure divine” but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.”
—Edward Weston (1886–1958)
